It’s difficult to know which to showcase first as there are so many choices in the new Autumn/Winter catalogue! I chose this one called “Remembering Christmas” as it is probably one that challenges one’s creative juices. In the following weeks, I’ll post a sample from the stamps I have and then revisit with the full […]

Love & Laughter
Welcome to my blog. It’s a Bank Holiday so I hope you’re enjoying the extra day off! Here’s a quick and simple card in gold embossing powder on shimmery white card stock which I made for my friend’s niece who is getting married in September. The alphabet has been retired as well as the gold […]
Backyard Basics and a Sneak Peek
This set has been sitting on the shelf, neglected and unloved waiting for the opportunity to see some ink! My brother-in-law recently had a birthday and he loves his garden, so it was now or never! There are a couple of sneak peeks in here too – as the new Autumn/Winter catty launches on 29 […]
Wildflower Meadow #5 & #6

On a piece of scrap, I stamped again in Crisp Cantaloupe and just cut out the flowers to adhere to the embossed image. The label is from […]
Timeless Talk, Tape It
A card for my grandson who has just hit the teens! I didn’t have anything in my stash that I could think of which would appeal to that age group but I figured they would talk on the phone alot………………. go figure…. so I thought I’d go the vintage route. Done in Bermuda Bay […]
Wildflower Meadow #3
Good day, as the Aussies say, I’m back with more on this background stamp. You can use elements of it and not the whole background. Using Designer Series Papers (DSP for short) on a card is a great way of using up scraps. I just picked out the colours in the DSP and used Island […]
